Jewish Family Services (JFS) of Ottawa partnered with the Ottawa Art Gallery and artist Rachel Kalpana James to present a virtual visual storytelling workshop for JFS seniors. Participants told their stories through the collection and assemblage of images and mementos into visual journals during the months of the pandemic. Here are some of their stories.
